Arguing with partner over newborn
Show your support
men don’t understand how hard it truly is
I’m going to be honest and say the first 6-12 months are HARD and a lot of relationships don’t last. You’re sleep deprived, while also trying to recover from 9 months of being pregnant, plus birth. I’m not sure what to suggest if he’s not listening. You could try counselling, but then it’s not always easy to access and sounds like he might not be willing to do it, which is also understandable. Could you maybe write down your feelings, or send him a message? Let him know that you just want to talk as you are finding things difficult, it might be an easier way to start a conversation and he’ll have to read it, and sometimes reading it is also more emotive. Like I said, the first few months are hard as you are both getting used to being parents and a baby changes the dynamics of a relationship, even the most stable relationship. You will get there, just keep trying to be open and honest x
You basically need support and you are asking for it but he doesn’t understand or see how he can give you anymore then what he currently do. What you are feeling is normal and common. You both need to work on communication and you both need to work together. You need to rest. Do you have parents/in-laws or friends family that could help you? You sound exhausted! Sorry you going there this darling 😔
I think you should consider counseling for both of you.. You don't want to go into depression. Sometimes men are incentives to our feelings Because they don't understand what we're going through. They think it's a luxury being at home all day With the baby, because they feel we do nothing. I think men also need to do baby classes so they can get an understanding that we need their support most after the baby is born.
